Pear and Chocolate Loaf

It is officially autumn here in the UK!  Not just because of the obvious later sunrises and earlier sunsets but more the blustery winds that swirl orange leaves all over the place.  Now, in books and movies this is considered romantic especially if there is a little child running around trying to catch the leaves or a couple romantically snogging in the woods….in reality it is a bloody pain in the you-know-what, leaves everywhere…gutters, drains, car windscreen wipers and let me not even start on the hay fever and itchy nose!! 

So now that I’ve hopefully convinced you that it may be healthy for you to eat cake, let us talk serving.  Serve it with whipped cream, ice-cream (healthy and low sugar of course) or with my favourite a drizzle of melted dark raw chocolate – utterly delish!!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour or ground almonds
• 1/2 cup cassava flour
• 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
